Mechanical Engineer with 10+ yrs of experience in early-stage product development, process development, and manufacturing. I've been acknowledged as an objective decision-maker who leads by example, and as an effective liaison between technical and non-technical colleagues.I thrive in innovative and fast-paced organizations and am not afraid to take on projects outside of my areas of expertise when called upon. I'm an active learner who enjoys undertaking new challenges and broadening my skill set, and have a reputation as a reliable performer in high-pressure situations. Outside of engineering I enjoy teaching, and volunteer year-round with Friends of Berthoud Pass in various capacities as an Avalanche Awareness Instructor, Outreach Director, and Board Member. Professional areas of interest include clean tech, machine design, and breakthrough technologies that have potential for positive climate impact. I'm currently working in hybrid/remote roles, and visit the Denver area ~1wk/month.Specialties:- Early-stage product development- Early-stage manufacturing- Process development and documentation- Manufacturing commissioning- Project management- Cleanroom protocol- Web handling machinery- LCD technology
